below is my reply

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use this phrase when referring to a single reply that is located below the current context.

Examples:

  • Below is my reply to your email.
  • Below is my reply to the question.
  • Below is my reply for your consideration.

Alternatives:

  • Here is my reply below
  • My reply is below
  • The reply below is mine
  • The following is my reply
  • My response is below

below are my reply

This phrase is incorrect. The verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "reply."

The correct phrase is "below is my reply." The verb "is" should agree with the singular subject "reply."
